Autorenporträt
Rolf Boldrewood was the pen name of Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915), an English-born Australian writer celebrated for his robust depictions of colonial life in Australia. Browne adopted his pseudonym from a character in the book 'The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn' by Henry Kingsley. After migrating to Australia at a young age, Browne's varied life as a squatter, gold commissioner, and police magistrate heavily influenced his literary works. Most notable among his works is 'Robbery Under Arms' (1888), a novel which stands as a staple in Australian colonial literature and has had a significant impact on the cultural identity of the nation. 'In Bad Company, and other stories' is one of his collections that delve into the lives of Australians during the late 19th century, characterized by Boldrewood's rich narrative style and vivid portrayals of the Australian landscape. His work is imbued with the themes of adventure, law, and the pioneering spirit, reflecting the dynamic and often tumultuous life on the frontier. Boldrewood's literature offers not only entertainment but also a historical lens through which modern readers can view the challenges and experiences of settler society in Australia. He has left an indelible mark on the genre of bush literature, earning him a distinguished place in the annals of Australian authors.
